HAYWARD, Calif. (September 8, 2021) — The True Life Companies (TTLC), a real estate firm focused on repurposing underutilized properties to create new housing options in high-need U.S. markets, announced today the launch of their homebuilding division, Homes Built for America (HBFA). HBFA’s first ground-up development will be SoMi, a 189-resident new home community located at 29212 Mission Boulevard in Hayward, CA.
“Homes Built for America deepens our commitment to creating new housing options for Bay Area residents,” said Scott Clark, Chairman and CEO of Homes Built For America. “SoMi is the first of many new communities we are pursuing under the HBFA brand, both throughout the Greater San Francisco Bay Area and in strategic markets across the country.”
Located within the City’s Mission Boulevard Corridor, the mixed-use commercial and residential SoMi will include 123 three-story attached townhomes with three- and four-bedroom layouts, as well as 66 condominiums with two- to three-bedroom layouts, of which 20 will be below market rate.
The community, designed by SDG Architects Inc., will have a recreation room and meeting space, three rooftop decks, a 17,000-square-foot dog park, pedestrian trails, multiple relaxing park areas, and access to additional outdoor recreation space that totals approximately 1.2 acres. A commercial retail component will complete the mixed-use community.
SoMi residents are centrally located within South Hayward and enjoy easy access to San Francisco, Oakland, and Silicon Valley via Interstate 880, the South Hayward BART Station, and the VTA bus line along Mission Boulevard.
SoMi is being developed in a joint venture with Hillwood. The partnership recently closed on the land and secured a construction loan from Madison Realty Capital, a vertically integrated real estate private equity firm focused on debt and equity investment strategies.
“We are excited to work closely with TTLC and HBFA to deliver a flexible and customized financing solution through every phase of development of this important project,” said Josh Zegen, Managing Principal and Co-Founder of Madison Realty Capital. “We fully support HBFA’s mission of bringing much-needed attainable housing to the San Francisco Bay Area.”
Models at SoMi are scheduled to open in 2022. Learn more at www.homesbuiltforamerica.com/communities.
